This person believes that we have to let homeless people return to their rightful home of sleeping on the subway.
But where is the sympathy for all the people getting pushed in front of subways? Will it be more or less safe if she gets her wish? #homelessexperts
What do our #homelessexperts have to say about our city's children being exposed to homeless people having sex in our streets and subway stations?
When someone is both homeless and addicted to drugs, how much more likely are they to commit crime to support their drug habit? 💯

Solutions as to where homeless people should be housed (and treated) should never come at the cost of more human suffering for other NYC residents.

'Homeless Migration' is a term used to describe homeless people who relocate to cities for better access to homeless services, as well as better access to commit crime, do drugs & panhandle. Not everyone is here to get their life on track.

#homelessexperts @RayForMayor has to explain why depending on private capital (Public/private partnerships) didn't work for Bloomberg and De Blasio.
Let’s not tokenize the folks asking the questions. Helping one person will not address the systemic issues at play here. #HomelessExperts

“We have to put the big business of homelessness out of business. Because it shouldn’t be about making money...it should be about housing people.” —Joycelyn Taylor #HomelessExperts
